Palaeohydrology: Understanding Global Change |
| Editor: K. J. Gregory (University of Southampton, U.K.); Editor: Gerardo Benito (CSIC, Spain) |
| Palaeohydrology includes studies of how the composition, distribution and movement of water on the land surface of the earth over the last 20,000 years has related to past environmental changes. Investigations provide information about the way that hydrology, and in particular, flood discharges, have changed in the past. They also show long-term hydrological trends and their implications for future changes. Past hydroclimate reconstructions related to a variety of past climate and environmental change sequences are critical to understanding future potential changes. They can provide data sets for validating the response of climate models with which to predict future change.
Key features of this book include: *a world summary of our understanding of palaeohydrological changes. | | |
